This meta-analysis aimed to explore the risk factors that place a child at risk of psychopathology following accidental trauma.
The predictive power of 8 factors was examined via transforming and combining the effect sizes to yield a weighted average effect size for each factor.
The results indicated that the majority of effect sizes, although significant, were inconsistent across the studies, yielding little conclusive evidence. However, pretrauma psychopathology and threat to life were strong and consistent predictors.
Information gathered from such meta-analyses could be used in the identification of at-risk children and the development of screening tools. However, further widespread and comprehensive reviews of the potential risk factors and their relationships to psychopathology need to be investigated.
本荟萃分析旨在探究意外创伤后使儿童面临精神病理学风险的危险因素。
通过转换和合并效应量来检验8个因素的预测能力，以得出每个因素的加权平均效应量。
结果表明，尽管大多数效应量具有显著性，但各研究结果并不一致，几乎没有确凿证据。然而，创伤前精神病理学和生命威胁是强有力且一致的预测因素。
从此类荟萃分析中收集的信息可用于识别高危儿童和开发筛查工具。然而，需要对潜在危险因素及其与精神病理学的关系进行进一步广泛而全面的综述研究。
